The Queen has given permission for a room in Windsor Castle to be used as an area for Muslims to pray.
The move came after 19-year-old Nagina Chaudhry who works at the visitors' shop in Berkshire, asked for somewhere to pray during Ramadan.
A spokeswoman for Buckingham Palace said an office had been set aside for Miss Chaudhry to use as a lunchtime prayer chamber.
A similar facility for Muslims already exists at Buckingham Palace.
I wonder if they have such prayer room in the White House...
Highly doubtful. There hasn't been a practicing Muslim in any presidential adminstration that I'm aware of. The chances of one actually being built or converted are slim in any case.

Hmmm.... in that case...so no need to have one.... but as the President host Ramadan iftar in the White House ... I think he might have one room for Muslim delegations to pray......
Cool and cudos to the Queen; but that don't mean we can get into any speculation about anybody else being wrong for not providing such a space.

LOL i doubt they would be able to pray 5 times a day. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about fasting and praying and He reckons Islam is too hard for him to follow.
He thinks fasting is impossible!
Actually if Christians did follow the times of prayer established by the early Christian Church it would be at least 5 prayer times per day. The morning prayer upon awakening, The prayer before each meal and the bed time prayers. Seems like there are a few other non-obligatory ones throughout the day, plus there would be the 40 day fast for lent. I believe the Catholics and Eastern Orthodox were the only ones that observed them for any length of time and they have now dwindled away from them.
The Queen has taken quite a big step foreward. I think she should be commended for her decision.
